A-list movie stars on the other hand, could totally pull the pieces off. While watching the runway show, I couldn't help but ask myself "Where on earth could you wear this gorgeous, pricey stuff?" and then found myself answering in the form of a little something like this:*If you were a pretty young actress--like, say Mila Kunis, who sat front row at Gaytten's show, or her fellow Dior girl and Black Swan counterpart Natalie Portman--who needed to look a bit older and uber-sophisticated in order to land a plum role in Todd Haynes's next film, you could start wearing this smart peplum coat while driving your bio-diesel Mercedes around Melrose.

Then, when it came time to auditioning for the lead role (a '50s jet-setting socialite who battles with paranoia and kleptomania, who also collects a string of dapper young paramours), you could wear this dreamy ballerina skirt look to your lunch meeting. You'd even suggest the Beverly Hills Hotel Polo Lounge for the meeting location and tuck a vintage matchbook in your clutch, to highlight your Method ways. Clearly, you'd get the part.

After you finished filming (Toronto, of course) you could pack this head-turning number in your valise and sport it all around Venice Film Festival while you're there to promote your buzzed-about drama.

...finally this is what you'd wear to the 2013 Oscars, along with glittering diamonds valued at roughly the same amount as one of the gargantuan Real Housewives homes. In your acceptance speech, you'd thank your parents, you'd thank your god and throw in a witty one-liner for good measure, but you'd save the big reveal on your secret weapon (your Christian Dior wardrobe) for your biography. Or at least your tabloid cover story.

Well ladies, what do you think? Don't these spiffy numbers make you wish you were a movie star (with a movie star's salary)?! Which look do you like best? Oh, and check out the shoes! With straps and a solid heel, they could probably be worn off the red carpet, don't you think?
